In Nintendo's "The Legend of Zelda™," Link must travel through many rooms arranged in a coordinate maze to find the silver arrow. From the entry room, he goes right 3 rooms, up 4 rooms, left 5 rooms, down 2 rooms, left 1 room, up 3 rooms, and right 4 rooms to find the chamber that has the silver arrow. If the entry room has coordinates (0,0) and all directions are as you view the maze, find the coordinates of the room with the arrow.
